Should adults be allowed to get in on Easter egg hunts? A poll found more than half of us want to: 57% of adults would love to compete in an Easter egg hunt this year, but feel like it's just something for kids.
If we DID get in on one, we wouldn't mess around: 42% said they'd be willing to use tricks or schemes to gain an advantage.
Here are a few more stats and facts for Easter Sunday...
1. 62% of adults would like to get their own Easter basket. 80% of parents admit to stealing candy from their kids each year. But the top thing we'd want in our own Easter basket isn't candy...it's gift cards.
2. The most common Easter basket items are: Chocolate bunnies and eggs, jelly beans, and Peeps. We consume around 90 million chocolate bunnies for Easter each year, 16 billion jelly beans and 1.5 billion Peeps.
3. How do you eat a chocolate bunny? 77% start with the ears, 16% go feet-first and 6% start with the BUTT.
4. What do you like in a chocolate egg? 41% said solid chocolate, 36% said some type of filling, like caramel and 23% prefer hollow chocolate eggs.
5. Egg hunts are only our second-favorite Easter tradition. Spending time with family is #1. Easter brunch or Easter dinner is third. 53% of Americans will also dye Easter eggs this year, even with egg prices so high.
6. Is anyone really dyeing potatoes to save money? It's supposed to be a trend, but "The Atlantic" just did a story telling people NOT to get in on it. They went with the headline, "One Simple Hack to RUIN Your Easter."
7. The White House Easter Egg Roll will have 30,000 eggs this year. The American Egg Board has been donating them each year for five decades.
8. Easter Sunday is the most popular church day of the year. Christmas Eve is next, followed by Mother's Day.
9. Easter greeting cards are a big deal. If you couldn't find one you liked, that's on you. Hallmark has 273 different Easter cards this year.
10. We'll spend $24 BILLION on Easter in 2025. When you factor in everything like eggs, candy, gifts, and clothes, the average spend is $189.
